How To Apply Liquid Foundation

How To Apply Liquid Foundation

To address that issue, we will pass along some simple tips for getting right the first, and every time.

Matching Your Skin Tone With Liquid Foundation

The first step to successfully applying liquid foundation is, of course, to use the one that closely matches your skin tone. Some will choose one that is too light, or too dark, because they are not testing it properly. A lot of us have been told that the proper way to do so is to place a sample of it on the inside of the wrist, but the underside of the wrist will have a lighter tone than your face. The proper way to test for a match is to take a mirror, and test it on your face in natural light, not the glaring light of fluorescent bulbs, if possible. This will allow you to make the closest match possible, no other.

Selecting Applicators

Finding the right brush to apply liquid foundation can be somewhat difficult, as most people prefer to use fingertips, or sponges. Fingertips are fine if you are comfortable with using them, and can put up with the mess. Sponges generally absorb more of the liquid than necessary, which is a waste. The best method to get a flawless application is to use brushes, with a tapered tip, and flat bristles, and will give you a flawless, airbrushed look.

Application techniques

Depending on your personal preference, you can either prepare the liquid foundation for application by tipping some onto a metal palette, or onto the back of your hand. From there, dip a small amount of it onto the brush, and begin applying it to the middle of your face, beginning on the point where the side of your nose meets the cheek, and brush outwards towards the ear. Blend it into your skin as you go, and you will use less foundation working through any crevices. Apply with the same method on the opposite side, and finish the entire middle section of the face, before moving on to the forehead and chin.

When applying liquid foundation to the chin, do not go further than the jaw line, for a true finished look. Going beyond the jaw line will mean having to blend it in down the neck, which can also have a lighter tone than your face. When applying foundation to the forehead, begin between the eyes, and brush upwards towards the hairline.

Finishing And Fixing Mistakes

Take a close look at your work, and see if you can spot areas where the tone is slightly darker, or lighter. Lighter means you missed a spot, darker indicates too much. Now it would be best to blend with fingers, as the brush may still contain liquid foundation, and only make it worse. Joshua Adekane is an devoted beauty blogger.
